Fire retardant s-triazine derivatives

ABSTRACT

A s-Triazine of the formula   &lt;IMAGE&gt;   wherein X, Y and Z are radicals of the formula   &lt;IMAGE&gt;  and R are aromatic, cycloaliphatic or aliphatic radicals or hydrogen is provided.

The invention relates to an s-triazine of the formula ##STR3## wherein X represents a radical of the formula ##STR4## wherein n represents 1 or 2, R₁ represents phenyl optionally substituted by methyl, ethyl, sulphonamido or carboxylamido, or hydrogen, R₂ and R₃ each have the meanings given for R₁ or represent benzyl, phenylethyl, cyclohexyl, or alkyl which has 1 to 4 carbon atoms and which is optionally substituted by hydroxyl, methoxy or ethoxy, or R₂ and R₃ together represent alkylene having 4 to 5 carbon atoms or ethyleneoxyethylene, or X represents a radical of the formula ##STR5## and Y and Z each have the meanings given for X or represent alkylamino or dialkylamino having 1 to 4 carbon atoms per alkyl radical, and, where n in the formula (1.1) represents 2, Y and Z also represent alkoxy having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, phenoxy alkylphenoxy having 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical, benzyloxy, halogen or hydroxyl.

Preferred reaction products correspond to the formula (1) wherein X and Y each represent a radical of the formulae (1.1) and (1.2), and preferably the same radical of one of the formulae (1.1) or (1.2), and Z has the meanings given for X and Y.

In particular, the preferred s-triazines correspond to the formula ##STR6## wherein X₁ represents a radical of the formula ##STR7## wherein n represents 1 or 2, R₄ represents phenyl or hydrogen, R₅ and R₆ each have the meanings given for R₄, or represent benzyl, phenylethyl, cyclohexyl, alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or R₅ and R₆ together represent alkylene having 4 to 5 carbon atoms, or X₁ represents a radical of the formula (1.2), and Z₁ has the meanings given for X₁, or represents alkylamino or dialkylamino having 1 to 4 carbon atoms per alkyl group, and, where n in formula (2.1) represents 2, Z₁ represents alkoxy having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, phenoxy, benzyloxy, chlorine or hydroxyl.

Of particular interest are s-triazines of the formula ##STR8## wherein X₂ represents a radical of the formula ##STR9## wherein n represents 1 or 2, and R₇ and R₈ each represent phenyl, benzyl, alkyl having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or hydrogen, or X₂ represents a radical of the formula (1.2), and Z₂ has the meanings given for X₂, or represents diethylamino or dimethylamino, and, where n in formula (3.1) represents 2, Z₂ also represents ethoxy, methoxy, phenoxy or benzyloxy.

Of primary interest are s-triazines of the formula ##STR10## wherein X₃ represents a radical of the formula ##STR11## wherein R₉ represents methyl or hydrogen, or X₃ represents a radical of the formula (1.2), and Z₃ has the meanings given for X₃ or represents methoxy, phenoxy or benzyloxy.

In the definitions of the R radicals and Z radicals, alkyl radicals are, e.g., n-butyl, sec.-butyl, isobutyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, ethyl or methyl. In the definition of Z, alkoxy can denote radicals such as n-octoxy, n-heptoxy or n-hexoxy, and especially, e.g., n-butoxy, tert.-butoxy, isobutoxy, n-propoxy, isopropoxy, ethoxy or particularly methoxy. If R₂ and R₃ together represent alkylene, they form together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bound a hetero ring, e.g. a piperidine ring or pyrrolidine ring, and in the case where R₂ and R₃ together represent ethylene-oxyethylene, they form with the nitrogen atom a morpholine radical.

The radical of the formula (1.2) is derived from saccharin.

of particular practical importance are the compounds Nos. 1 to 4 of Table I.

The present invention relates also to a process for producing the novel s-triazines of the formula (1), which process comprises reacting the compound of the formula ##STR28## wherein Y and Z have the given meanings, with a compound of the formula ##STR29## wherein R₁, R₂ and R₃ have the given meanings, and n in the formulae (1.1), (5) and (6) has the same meaning 1 or 2; or, if n represents 2, with the compound of the formula ##STR30##

The compound of the formula (4), which is of primary interest, is produced by reacting 1 mole of cyanuric chloride with 3 moles of the compound of one of the formulae

    H.sub.2 N--SO.sub.2 --NH--Na                               (13),

    (CH.sub.3).sub.2 --N--SO.sub.2 --NH.Na                     (14)

or (7), or by reacting 1 mole of the compound of the formula ##STR36## wherein Z₃ has the given meanings, with 2 moles of the compound of one of the formulae (13), (14) or (7).

The starting compounds (5), (8), (10), (12) and (15) are known. The di- and tri-sulphochlorides, i.e. the compounds of the formulae (5), (8), (10) and (12) wherein n represents 1, are obtained by chlorination with chlorine gas of the corresponding di- and trimercapto-s-triazines in acetic acid/aqueous medium at 0° to 5° C.

The reaction of the s-triazine-2,4,6-trisulphochlorides and the s-triazine-4,6-disulphochlorides, i.e. the compounds (5), (8), (10) and (12) wherein n represents 1, is performed with the amines of the formulae (6), (9) and (11) wherein n represents 1, in an aqueous medium at 20° to 80° C., preferably at 50° to 60° C.

The reaction of cyanuric chloride or of 4,6-dichloro-s-triazines, i.e. of the starting compounds of the formulae (5), (8), (10) and (12) wherein n represents 2, or of the starting compound of the formula (15), is performed with the sulphurylamide sodium compounds of the formulae (6), (9) and (11) wherein n represents 2, with the sulphurylamide sodium compounds of the formulae (13) and (14), or with the sodium saccharinate of the formula (7), in an inert organic solvent, e.g. in acetone and ethanol, at 20° to 80° C., preferably at the reflux temperature of the employed solvent, e.g. at 55° to 80° C.

The resulting s-triazines according to the invention are processed by customary methods which are described in the following Examples 1 to 16.

The s-triazines according to the invention are in particular effective fireproofing agents for the fireproofing of fiber materials made from polyester. Hence the present invention relates further to the use of the s-triazines according to the invention as flameproofing agents, to the application process by which these s-triazines are used to fireproof the fiber materials, to the composition for carrying out the application process, which composition contains the s-triazines according to the invention, and to the fiber material to which has been imparted the flameproof finish by means of the application process. The process according to the invention for fireproofing fiber materials made from polyester is characterised in that these materials are treated with a preparation which contains at least one s-triazine of the formula (1); and the materials treated in this manner are subjected to a heat treatment.

The s-triazines of the formula (1) are solid compounds which are soluble or insoluble in water. Products soluble in water are applied to the fiber materials from aqueous solutions; products insoluble in water are applied to the fiber materials from aqueous dispersions. Products insoluble in water can also be applied from an organic solution.

With the application of water-insoluble s-triazines of the formula (1) from an aqueous suspension or dispersion, there are preferably used dispersing agents of the type customarily used in the dyestuff and textile industries, e.g. lignin sulphonates, aromatic sulphonic acids, saturated-aliphatic dicarboxylic acids substituted with higher alkyl radicals, condensation products from aromatic sulphonic acids and formaldehyde, alkylphenol/ethylene oxide adducts, ethylene oxide adducts from fatty acids, fatty amines or fatty alcohols, sulphurated substituted benzimidazoles and sulphonated fatty acid amides. Good results are obtained in particular with lignin sulphonates, with ethylene oxide adducts from alkylphenols, fatty amines, fatty alcohols or fatty acids, and especially with substituted benzimidazoles or with condensation products from aromatic sulphonic acids with formaldehyde.

There are preferably employed those dispersing agents which at elevated temperature, e.g. at 180° C. to 220° C., cause no yellowing of the treated substrate, or at most a yellowing that is removed by subsequent washing. In other words, the dispersing agents either should not decompose at elevated temperature or should merely form soluble or volatile decomposition products. The amount of dispersing agent used is preferably between 1 and 60 percent by weight, relative to the s-triazine. Particularly good results are obtained with 1 to 50, especially with 1 to 20, and particularly with 1 to 4 percent by weight of dispersing agent, relative to the s-triazine.

In order to increase storage stability, the aqueous suspensions or dispersions can also contain a protective colloid. The protective colloids customarily employed in industry are suitable, such as polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose or hydroxypropylcellulose, gelatine, acid casein, starch paste, or polymers of monomers of the acrylic acid series, such as polyacrylic acid, ethyl acrylate copolymers or methyl methacrylate copolymers. Good results are obtained in particular with polyvinyl alcohol, hydroxyethylcellulose and especially with carboxymethylcellulose.

The aqueous preparations contain as a rule 50 to 700 g/kg, preferably 200 to 700 g/kg, particularly 200 to 500 g/kg, of s-triazine; 0 to 300 g/kg, preferably 0.2 to 200 g/kg, especially 5 to 40 g/kg, of dispersing agent; and 0 to 30 g/kg or 0.5 to 30 g/kg, preferably 0 to 10 or 0.5 to 10 g/kg of protective colloid. The amount is made up each time with water to 1 kg.

The s-triazine of the formula (1) is advantageously ground as an aqueous dispersion in the presence of a dispersing agent to the extent that the particles have a mean diameter of 0.5 to 30μ, preferably 0.5 to 20μ. Good results are obtained in particular with dispersions of which the particle size is 0.5 to 10μ, especially 0.5 to 5μ. The particle size in itself has no influence on the attainable fireproofing effects, but does influence the stability of the dispersions.

The s-triazines of the formula (1) wet in different ways, so that it can be advantageous to suspend them in water not immediately before application but already well beforehand. Pure suspensions are however relatively unstable. There is therefore preferably added to the aqueous preparation a dispersing agent, since this prevents a rapid sedimentation of the solid s-triazine. This sedimentation can be almost completely prevented by the further addition of a protective colloid. The protective colloids can be incorporated into the dispersion before or after grinding. Dispersions thus stabilised can if required be converted by drying in a manner known per se, e.g. in a spray dryer or in a customary paddle dryer, into solid commercial preparations which can be redispersed an any time.

The grinding of the solid s-triazines is performed in standard equipment suitable for the purpose, e.g. in a glass-ball mill, in a sand mill or in a corundum disk mill.

Suitable organic solvents for application of the s-triazines of the formula (1) from an organic solution are aromatic hydrocarbons, e.g. benzene or toluene, particularly cycloaliphatic or heterocyclic hydrocarbons, e.g. dioxane or tetrahydrofuran, halogenated, preferably aliphatic, hydrocarbons, e.g. chloroform or trichloroethylene, and especially lower, preferably aliphatic, alcohols, e.g. methanol or ethanol, ketones, e.g. cyclohexanone, acetone or methyl ethyl ketone, esters, e.g. ethyl acetate or amides, e.g. dimethylformamide.

The process according to the invention is preferably performed by drying the fiber material after it has been treated with the aqueous fireproofing composition and subsequently subjecting the dried material to a heat treatment at elevated temperature. One suitable method comprises drying the treated material at temperatures up to 100° C., e.g. at 70° to 100° C., and then subjecting it to a heat treatment above 100° C., e.g. at 100° to 220° C., or especially at 150° to 220° C., i.e. subjecting it to a thermosol treatment.

The fireproofing composition containing the s-triazine of the formula (1) can be applied to the fiber materials by conventional methods, e.g. by spraying or printing, or preferably by the exhaust process, or particularly by padding.

The thermosol process is preferably performed, after padding, at 175° C. to 220° C., and requires as a rule 10 to 200 seconds, preferably 20 to 100 seconds. Particularly good results are achieved with a time of 10 to 60 seconds.

Alternatively, the materials may also be finished by the exhaust process under high-temperature conditions, e.g. at 100° C. to 130° C.

The process according to the invention is performed preferably in such a manner that, by suitable dilution of the fireproofing composition with water or with organic solvent, depending on the type of fiber material and on its weight per unit area, the deposit of s-triazine of the formula (1), relative to the fiber material treated, is 1 to 20 percent by weight or, in particular, 1 to 10 percent by weight.

The polyester fiber materials rendered fireproof according to the invention can be any stage of processing, i.e. they can be treated in the form of staple or continuous filaments, in the form of fabrics or knitwear, in the dyed or undyed condition, or in the form of textiles which have already been further processed. Preferably however the material to be treated is always textile fiber material.

Preferably, the fireproof finish is imparted to polyester fiber materials, which are derived in particular from terephthalic acid, e.g. poly(ethylene glycol terephthalate).

There are obtained according to the invention on polyester fiber materials permanent fireproofing effects, which are retained even after repeated washing or dry cleaning. The finishes have the additional advantage that the handle of the fireproofed fiber materials is not found to be tacky. Moreover, the tendency of the fabrics to become soiled in the dry state and in the wet state is not increased. The fastness to light and rubbing of the dyeings is scarcely affected.

A particular advantage of the process according to the invention for the fireproofing of polyester fiber materials is that good fireproofing effects are obtained with small deposited amounts.

The textile-mechanical properties of the treated fiber materials are moreover not disadvantageously affected by the present fireproofing finish, and the good handle properties of the treated fabrics are scarcely impaired. The same applies to the low stiffness in flexure and to the high ultimate tensile strength of the fireproofed fiber materials. Even fabrics treated with disperse dyes can be treated according to the invention without the quality of the printing suffering.

The process according to the invention for the fireproofing of polyester fiber materials can be performed also simultaneously with a process for dyeing or brightening.
